This story will make your day.
In a time where every corporate company seems to be “taking a knee” for Marxist/racist “Black Lives Matter” group, it’s so refreshing and inspiring to see a CEO stand up for truth and refused to capitulate to the mob and inject “politics” into his branding.

That’s exactly what the Trump-supporting CEO of “Red Bull” did – and he also fired a bunch of his top executives who were more interested in being “social justice warriors” than employees of a successful global brand.
Red Bull has fired two top executives in the US who had lobbied for more diversity in the company and were blamed for the leak of a letter that criticized its ‘public silence’ on Black Lives Matter.
North America chief executive Stefan Kozak and North America president and chief marketing officer Amy Taylor were let go, the energy drink company said Tuesday.
While Red Bull employees in the US have been pressing for the company to be more vocal about racism, Red Bull’s billionaire CEO Dietrich Mateschitz is a Donald Trump admirer who has spoken out against ‘political correctness’.
The 76-year-old tycoon also owns a media firm which has been criticized for giving a platform to far-right activists in his native Austria.
Sources told Business Insider that Red Bull’s top executives in Austria are thought to have fired Kozak and Taylor in ‘retaliation’ for the leak, although no official reason was given for their departure.
I know I personally will be supporting Red Bull. This is the best way the “silent majority” can start sending a clear message to these companies.
Let’s bombard the ones who refuse to “take a knee” with business and simply stop buying from the ones who bend to the mob.
Trust me, when their numbers start taking a dive, they’ll re-think their social justice activism and they’ll learn that Americans do not want politics injected into everything.
It’s stomach-turning.
